SPEAKING AND WRITING MISTAKES AND TIPS TO SPEAK AND WRITE PROPERLY

BASIC COMMON WRITING & SPEAKING MISTAKES

DEAD IMPORTANT

WHEN SPEAKING AND WRITING,

ALWAYS CONSIDER THIS RULE OF THUMB (GENERAL RULE) IN ORDER TO EASILY COME UP WITH IDEAS AND PREVENT YOUR MIND FROM GOING BLANK:

 

Think of ...

-what you want / have to speak about.

-who is involved in the situation.

-where & when it had place / is happening / will occur.

-how it happened / is developing / is going to be.

 

Like this, you will have enough things to say and will explain things thoroughly.

 

Create a webbing so as to brainstorm and start organising ideas. Use the question words with this purpose and you will have lots of things to say or write.
 

 

 

 

 

 

After creating the webbing, decide on the order you will speak or write by listing ideas under their headings, which will correspond to well defined paragraphs.
